The recently conducted Arnold Sports Festival 2022 saw a bunch of talented athletes pull off some amazing feats of strength. And no other event better represents “true strength” than RAW powerlifting. So today we’re taking a look at Men’s and Women’s Grand Prix (Overall) results in the RAW event at Arnold Sports Festival 2022.
Kicking things off with results in the Men’s category we have Ashton Roushka @some_strongash_guy dominating the event with a 2,104lbs total at 103.79kg (228lbs) body weight. Roushka broke his previous record at the Arnold Sports Festival 2022 with an 815lbs (370kg) squat during his third attempt. He also pulled a 380kg (837lbs) deadlift, a 205kg (452lbs) squat and his DOTS score was 578.667.
